Answer:

a = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

-(5a+6)=2(3a+8)

-5a -6 = 2*3a +2*8

-5a -6 = 6a +16

-5a -6a = 16+6

-11a = 22

a= -22/11

a = -2

When you add two rational numbers, each number can be written as a?

ra1l [238]

The correct answer to your question is... a rational #, because when you add two rational #'s, each # can be written as a rational #.

Reasoning:
So, adding two rational #'s like adding fractions will result in another fraction of this same form since integers are closed under + and x. Thus, adding two rational #'s produces another rational #.

By the way # means number.

Answer:

First option is the right choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{\cos \left(x\right)+1}+\frac{1}{\cos \left(x\right)-1}\\\\\frac{\cos \left(x\right)-1}{\left(\cos \left(x\right)+1\right)\left(\cos \left(x\right)-1\right)}+\frac{\cos \left(x\right)+1}{\left(\cos \left(x\right)+1\right)\left(\cos \left(x\right)-1\right)}\\\\=\frac{\cos \left(x\right)-1+\cos \left(x\right)+1}{\left(\cos \left(x\right)+1\right)\left(\cos \left(x\right)-1\right)}\\\\=\frac{2cos\left(x\right)}{cos^2\left(x\right)-1}\\\\=\frac{2cos\left(x\right)}{sin^2\left(x\right)}$
